Description

Very indirect trip from Worcester to Davis Square. I arrived into Boston so indirectly because I stopped at (a) a BBQ in JP on Mission Hill and (b) Shakespeare in the Park on Boston Common. I could have done this trip much more directly (and am somewhat wondering why I did not!).

The parts of the trip between Fiske Street in/near Hollister and Needham are perhaps the best cycling I've done in the greater Boston area. Route 122 and 140 out of Worcester was OK. Route 16, which is why I took such a roundabout way, since it came recommended, was pretty but had far too many cars. I will avoid Route 16 in the future and try take more of the backrounds like Fiske. They were wooded, beautiful, cool on a hot day, and had almost no cars. I saw almost as many other cyclists as I did cars.

Description

Trip from Somerville, MA to Pawtucket Rhode Island. We took one run turn that took us onto High Park Ave around Reading. We'll avoid that one next time. The trip down Washington Street, Bay Road is absolutely beautiful and something we will be certain to repeat.

Loop from the hotel at Villa Inn to the dam on the alpine resevoir, and then back. The climb is pretty intense, but the downhill on the way back into Fairfax is incredible. The lake itself is completely picturesque. Highly recommended.
